On the wing now

The spreadsheet below lists the species which may currently be on the wing. This is calculated using the earliest and latest dates that the species has been recorded in Dumfries and Galloway (with a small 'buffer' added). The local status is also given, based on the number of records received for each species. Please bear in mind that the list is for guidance only and is unlikely to be exhaustive for any given date as things change from year to year and with seasonal weather conditions. However if you think you have identified a species which is not on the list or one which is rare, please take a photo or specimen to help with verification of the record.
